Teacher-Authors: What’s Happening on my Writer’s Blog

National Tell A Story Day

National Tell A Story Day is celebrated every year on April 27th. This day is dedicated to the art of storytelling and encourages people to share their stories and connect with others through the power of narrative. This can involve reading a book, listening to a podcast or audiobook, watching a movie or TV show with a great story, or even just having a conversation with someone and sharing personal stories.

Ten of my favorite story collections from authors I read, many (most?) Indie authors, include, in alphabetic order:

And the Grave Awaits by Robbie Cheadle
A Walk in the Woods and Other Short Stories by Esther Newton
Distant Flickers by Elizabeth Gauffreau et al
Flights of Fancy by Sally Cronin
In the Tree’s Shadow by D.L. Finn
Miracles and Ghosts Past: V. II, by D.L. Finn
Story Chat: International Short Stores Generating Conversations (Story Chat Series Book 2), by Marsha Ingrao
The Storyteller Speaks by Annika Perry
Takes from the Irish Garden by Sally Cronin
Whispers of a Southern Moon, by Priscilla Bettis

For those who love audio, here are some excellent quick readings:
